		I don&apos;t really like cutting the leaves off of celery, but I do it because that&apos;s how I was trained to deal with celery.
		It takes extra time, then leaves me with less food material.
		Celery&apos;s paid for by weight, so I pay for the leaves.
		Why shouldn&apos;t I eat them?
		With some plants, cutting off the leaves is a matter of removing toxicity.
		For example, rhubarb leaves are poisonous, but the stalks are fine to eat.
		For others, it&apos;s a matter of flavor.
		So today, I did a Web search to find out exactly why one shouldn&apos;t eat celery leaves.
		As I&apos;d hoped, there&apos;s no particular reason not to eat them.
		Some recipes even specifically call for celery leaves and not celery stalks!
		I can just cut the leaves up with the stalks and add the whole thing to my soup.
		The only argument I saw against using celery leaves was that they taste too strongly of celery; their flavor was claimed to be stronger than the stalks.
		I could use a stronger celery flavor though, especially because of my heavy use of potatoes, which are rather bland on their own.

		A letter addressed to me from Coos County came to to my mother&apos;s place today.
		It&apos;s likely the jury summons they promised last year.
		I&apos;ll need to let them know I&apos;m no longer in that county and&apos;ve moved to Lane.
		My mother asked if I wanted them to throw it out or if I would pick it up, so I said I&apos;d pick it up, but it might be a few days.
		I need to catch up on coursework first.
		They got pushy though, asking if I worked today and if so when.
		I already said I have no time today!
		My work schedule has put constraints on my time, true, but that doesn&apos;t mean I have the time not working today free, which I explained.
		I get the feeling they might come drop off the letter, but I&apos;m <strong>*really*</strong> hoping they don&apos;t do that.
		Besides, dropping it off would save them and me zero time.
		I have to walk to their place to wash their dishes anyway later.
		The sensible and intelligent thing to do would be to wait until the next time I&apos;m already over there, then make the pass then.
		I really need to find time to get my change-of-address forms completed and sent into the post office.

		For some strange reason, I was assigned to work the front till today instead of the drive-through till.
		Now I can compare them.
		I still haven&apos;t decided which I prefer though.
		The drive-through till has the Crown of Voices.
		Its voices aren&apos;t always clear, which is a disadvantage.
		However, the Crown also makes it so I don&apos;t have to keep a close eye on the till to see when customers come by.
		Not having to watch the counter means I can go to the back to wash dishes and clean the back room without worry.
		That said ... I only <strong>*have*</strong> to wash the dishes and clean up the back when I&apos;m on drive-through.
		On the front till, I instead need to clean up the front, which&apos;s a much simpler and quicker task.
		I&apos;m not rushing through it as quickly as I can, desperate to finish up on time.
		I also think I get better tips on the back till, though I don&apos;t have a large enough data pool from the front till to say for sure.
		If I&apos;m right though, it means the harder work happens to also pay better.

		I finished up the <span title="Ethics and Social Responsibility">PHIL 1404</span> reading assignment for the week.
		I tried to finish my discussion posts for the week, but no one&apos;s written any initial posts for me to respond to.
		I did respond to the professor who had responded to my post though:

	<blockquote>

			I don&apos;t know the legalities surrounding gambling, but I agree that the voters should step in.
			While I can&apos;t find a reasonable way to claim that casinos should be sued for the damage they cause, I can certainly see why they should be made illegal.
			The damage they causes, while indirect, is too harmful to society.
		</p>
		<p>
			That said, I don&apos;t believe in double standards.
			Gambling is gambling.
			State-run lottery games are in no way different, and should likewise be shut down.
